Can Transaction Fees Fully Offset Impermanent Loss for a Liquidity Provider?

Transaction fees, earned from trading volume, are the primary revenue stream for liquidity providers. They can, and often do, offset impermanent loss, especially in pools with high trading volume and low price volatility.

However, in scenarios with extreme price divergence, the impermanent loss can vastly exceed the accumulated fees, resulting in a net loss for the LP.
